Julietta's Dressing Up

Translator: Khan

Editor: Aelryinth

There would be constraints on everything when she entered the Imperial Castle. She wouldn"t see Amelie and Sophie often because she wouldn"t be able to go to the dress shop, and she wouldn"t be able to see the face of Simone, who she was very attached to, every day like this.

Julietta knew that Simone had treated her sincerely. She didn"t know if it was because she wanted to forget Regina, but Simone thought of her as a real niece. When Simone noticed that Julietta was feeling guilty about Simone, she repeated, "It"s all yours and it"s too bad that you have to give up the Duchy."

It was like saying "My place is yours", and so tears burst out.

As Julietta smiled with grat.i.tude as she saw Simone, Jane pouted as she brought over the tea.

What a blessing she had! Born as the only daughter of the family of the Duke, her guaranteed position was great, but she would also be the Empress. However, she was offended seeing Iris crying out of what she had to give up, as she would become the Empress.

In fact, it was not a blessing, because she would drink this poisoned tea today and die soon.

"If anything overflows too much, it is unlucky."

There was no fear when she first received the poison; she hoped the day would come as soon as possible. Jane put down the tea and stepped back politely.

After a while, Julietta wiped her tears with her handkerchief as if she was ashamed, and picked up the teacup.

"Yap-yap!"

From the time Jane had poured the tea, Manny had been in her lap asking for a hug, and it stood up om Julietta"s lap and hit the tea away.

"Manny!" Julietta was surprised and quickly lifted up Manny for fear of the hot water as she stood up.

"Oh, Miss! Are you all right?" Vera ran over in surprise and wiped her wet dress quickly.

"It"s okay. Auntie, I"m sorry. I don"t know why Manny is so mean today."

Simone laughed as she hid Manny, who had slipped under her skirt for fear of getting scolded as soon as Julietta put it down on the floor. "I guess it didn"t like something. Isn"t it a little young yet? Jane, give me more tea."

As soon as Simone ordered Jane to go back to bring the tea again, Manny jumped out of her lap and barked furiously.

"Oh, Manny doesn"t like today"s tea time. Are you jealous of me and your owner having fun?"

As Simone looked affectionately into its eyes, Manny barked again as if it agreed. Simone lifted Manny, who was nervous and whining and gave it to Vera. "It"s too late to drink more tea today. You have to change your dress anyway, so go back to your room and rest until the time of the etiquette education."

Julietta said goodbye to her with a very sorry expression on her face, and returned to her bedroom on the third floor with Manny.

"Manny, what the h.e.l.l is wrong with you? I took you because Auntie loves you, but I won"t take you next time."

Manny barked defiantly at its owner"s scolding, but she only gave it a pat on its black nose and scolded it.

For days after that day, Julietta did not take Manny when she had her tea time with Simone. Exceptionally, every time it came, Manny whined, biting the hem of her dress, but she regarded it as trivial.

"The princess, are you sick?"

Julietta felt that Sir Reynold, a teacher of etiquette, was saying something, but she looked on blankly because she didn"t understand him.

"Princess?"

Phoebe had been feeling that Julietta"s condition was strange since a while ago, and she sprang up and approached her. "Miss?"

When her complexion and bloodless lips came into her eyes, Phoebe was surprised and quickly touched Julietta"s forehead. "She doesn"t have a fever. Miss, are you having another headache?"

Phoebe looked back at the teacher of etiquette when she saw Julietta"s blank look, unaware of her words.

"Sir Reynold, I think she is sick. I"ll have to call in a doctor."

Looking anxiously at her at Phoebe"s words, Sir Reynold quickly opened the door and ordered the waiting attendant. "Go and get a house doctor. I think the princess is sick. Inform Mrs. Raban, too."

The hall was quickly cluttered with people who went to inform Mrs. Raban and who went to the butler to ask for a house doctor.

Julietta inadvertently shook her hand, when Phoebe said something and tried to stir herself up.

"Miss?"

Phoebe called her again in a louder voice, but Julietta just stared at her blankly. She knew the words for sure, but she couldn"t understand what they meant. It felt like she was doing an English listening test. Julietta only noticed that Phoebe sounded strange. She wanted to talk about it, but the words didn"t come out.

Phoebe managed to get the blank Julietta to rise and take her to her bedroom. "Miss?"

Vera ran in in surprise when she saw Julietta walking helplessly, aided by Phoebe and a maid. She threw back the bedsheet and said, laying Julietta down, "Did she catch a cold? For the last few days, she said that she had a headache and felt dizzy."

"I don"t know. She doesn"t have a fever."

Vera hugged Manny who was constantly whining under the bed, and soothed, sending it out to the parlor. "Manny, the lady is sick now, so stay here and play. I don"t know why you"ve been acting like a baby lately."

Manny stamped its feet on the floor, looking at the heartlessly closed bedroom door.

"What the h.e.l.l, if the Lord had wanted to send me here, he should have sent me with the ability to speak. I couldn"t do anything even though I knew she was being poisoned!"

Even if all Manny"s abilities were sealed, it was not hard to distinguish the poison. When the maid who apparently disliked Julietta brought the tea with her, Manny smelled the poison mixed with the tea, and had no choice but to spill it in a hurry.

Because of that, Manny had been unable to follow Julietta for a while, and was unable to stop her from collapsing after she was poisoned.

The house doctor of the Kiellini family arrived, as Manny waited in a desperate manner for the bedroom door to open. As soon as he entered the bedroom, Manny quickly stepped into the bedroom. he saw Julietta lying helplessly on her bed and felt nervous.

Manny was sent to the human world in this way because it was punished for tampering a soul as it liked, and if the main character who he had to help died, the Lord G.o.d might turn him into dust.

"Has she vomited?" After the examination, the doctor looked at Vera.

"No, she didn"t vomit, but she"s been having a headache for a few days, and she hasn"t eaten as much."

"I had to call a doctor even if Miss was against it." Phoebe blamed herself that it was not something to be beaten with the painkillers she had taken.

To Vera, who was looking worried, the doctor said with a serious look, "I need to look at her condition a little bit more because she doesn"t have any vomiting, but I suspect the epidemic in Bertino right now."

"What? She"s never been to Bertino!"

It had been ten days since the disease broke out in Bertino. Deaths had been found in Austern these days, but it was not serious. Because they couldn"t find a way to treat the infectious disease, they were even isolating the sick and cracking down on them so that it wouldn"t spread.

Vera and Phoebe"s face turned pale, and the butler who had guided the doctor gave out a sigh.

"Is the Marquise in the mansion?"

"No, she had a meeting and she went out a little while ago."

The doctor nodded at the butler"s answer. "Isolate the third floor where the princess stays right now and bring everyone who works in the Kiellini mansion. I need to make sure there are no physical problems and sort those people out."

The doctor went so far and looked back at Vera. "There is no treatment available now. It may not be the infectious disease because she hasn"t shown symptoms of vomiting yet, but I"m worried about a headache. Some people with the infectious disease have mild headaches in their early stages."
